Impress press on manicures first impression

I'll admit when impress press on manicures were first released I was more than a little dubious as to the quality and if they would actually work they reminded me of sticky nails I used to use as a child, which typically stayed on for around 5 minutes before they would be all over my parents house.

I decided to take the plunge and purchase some after seeing a few reviews on youtube and I've got to say I am impressed sets retail from £6.99 to £8.99 depending on design. The ones I have were £8.99

I decided to pick up the flowery pink set see picture.

Impress promises a fast and easy application lasting up to a week you get 24 nails in 12 sizes.

The first thing I did was to empty all the nails on the table and group them into pairs of the same size and then try them on my nails to get the perfect fit. Impress recommends going a size down if you can't get the perfect fit for your nail.

I like that the nails are quite short and squared off at the ends which makes doing everyday tasks simple there is nothing worse than having a set of nails which are so long it makes everyday tasks such as typing and using your phone near impossible.

They set also includes a nail wipe which you use before applying to your real nails and an on the go mini nail file which is great if you are out and need to do your nails fast.

overall I am very happy with these nails they look really pretty and are fast and easy to apply I will deffinatly be purchasing more.

The finished result a perfect manicure in minutes you get a beautiful nail design which if your like me and rubbish at nail art this is the perfect alternative. 

Revlon lip butters review

So Revlon lip butters finally landed in the UK after what seemed like the longest wait ever so I picked up 4 strawberry shortcake, peach parfait, lollipop and sweet tart.

After seeing a lot of swatches and reviews on you tube I was so excited to finally be able to purchase these lip butters and as promised I wasn't disappointed the formulation is smooth and creamy and the colour payoff is great I got 4 of the more pink colours 2 neutral and 2 more bold colours.

 Peach parfait and strawberry shortcake are the 2 lip butters that are more suited to wearing during the day, peach parfait is a lovely bronzey colour with a hint of glitter in it and strawberry shortcake is a gorgeous barbie coloured pink with no shimmer or glitter in it. I love wearing these colours when I am working or just want a neutral coloured lip for during the day.

Sweet tart and Lollipop are defiantly more on the bold end of the spectrum, sweet tart is a gorgeous neon pink lip colour which is hot for spring and summer 2012 I've had a lot of compliments wearing this colour it suits most skintones. Lollipop is a deep magenta coloured pink and not something I would normally go for but I love it and wore it out on a night out recently and got a lot of compliments the only downside 2 these 2 colours is that after wearing them for a while whilst eating and drinking they fade a bit in the middle of the lip and you are left with a bright pink line around the outside of the lips which can look a little silly if you don't notice.  
Overall these are great products and come in a great selection of colours 14 in total they retail at £7.99 each I'm excited to try more colours.


Here are swatches of all the colours I have.

Review top drawer eye pencils

Hey everyone so I'm sorry I haven't written a blog post in soooo long I just haven't had the time to fit in filming editing working socialising and writing blogs into my week at all so I have a little bit of free time today so I thought I would pen a blog post for you all about the Front cover Top drawer eye pencil collection, which I purchased just after christmas it was on half price at Boots from £16.00 to £8.00 I have never tried any of their products before but I had been after a set of coloured eye pencils for a while and hadn't found anything that I liked that much so when I saw them I thought they were great colours and so I purchased it.

So here is what the set looks like 

So as you can see it comes with 6 coloured pencils a black kohl liner and a dual sharpener the pencils vary in terms of cream mettalic shimmer and glitter. I also photographed some swatches on my arm so I will insert those down below aswell and then run through the colours and my impressions of them all.

From left to right colours Moccasin Pine needle Drifter Purple durple Chalk and Lemon 

Moccasin is a very creamy bronze brown shimmery shade this is perfect for wearing during the day on the waterline or all over the lid it's a very neutral colour and super blendable.

Pine needle is a gorgeous turquoise blue colour I can see myself wearing this in spring summer to add a pop of colour to my eyes however it is not as creamy as the other colours so a little harder to blend.

Drifter is a lovely duck egg blue colour it's really blendable and creamy with a metallic finish another spring summer colour here.

Purple durple is a lovely deep matte purple colour perfect for wearing on a night out, again it's not as blendable and creamy as the other colours but looks great with a smokey eye. 

Ice is a gorgeous creamy and super blendable pale silvery metallic colour this is by far my favourite pencil in the colection it's got a futuristic kind of feel to it and sure to get attention when worn I haven't seen a colour like this before as it's more than your standard silver I think this would look great worn all over the lid with a flick of liquid liner for a simple for attention grabbing look.

The last colour Lemon is a pale goldish lemon colour and has a lot of sparkle and glitter to it the payoff doesn't give you much colour but does add a lot of glitter to your eyes again really blendable and creamy a definate for anyone who loves having sparkly eyes. 

The black kohl pencil however is not as great as the other pencils in the set when applied to the waterline it doesn't give you and intense black line to the eyes it's pretty pale and also a bit scratchy to apply I prefer my pencils to be soft and super black if I'm going for an eyeliner but that is jut personal preference if you prefer a more subtle black line when lining your eyes this would be a good pencil for you. Overall I give this set 4 out of 5 stars just because of the black pencil not being as good as I had hopes oh but on the plus side it does have a smudger on the other end which works really well.

So I hope you guys enjoyed the blog post It's really long I hope not to ramblly ttyl xoxo
